The Gazette con -4418 a dispatch from General EsPARTEIIO to the Mi nister of War, dated Lugo, July 17, in which the Go "rernment is informed that notwithstanding the forced marches made by the QUEEN'S troops, the General had not succeeded in overtaking the rebels who had ltercd Galicia. Nevertheless, he had no doubt of 411timatelv driving them out of th a t p rov i nce . Th e Areat object of Don CARLOS i s t o ma k e hi mse lf master 13 f the eapiral—and he will succee d if C ORDOVA b e cl ot removed from the command of the army. His par tisans are aware that now is the moment to strike a ir % le ,cisive blow. The Com man d er -i n -Chi e f o f t h e k•nristinos cares not a straw how the war terminates, P r ovided he can make terms to suit hi mse lf w i t h t h e k;ourt. The QUEEN'S Government begins to be seri °"sly appreh ens i ve , an d it is not p oss ibl e to conce i ve that a man of ISTURIZ'S acknowledged sagacity and discrimination is entirely ignorant of the fact, that the danger which now threatens him, and the cause 6f t he QUEEN, is entirely owing to the treachery of f T °II DovA. T o divert the Carlist forces from an at k 111:01 1 the capital, the Government addressed an ?Metal communicati on to General EVANS after the c'air o f Fontarabia, praying him to make himself mas . of Ern an i at a l l hazards, and to advance f urt h er i nto country. The General was ill when this order ar rwed , and consequently it was not attended to. M ore - Ov er General EVANS is doubtful as to whether he has i r him a suffici en t f orce to possess hi mse lf of Er fer? 1, whi c h is strongly garrisoned, and capable of of 'g a sto ut resistance to any number of men that "'lid be c • th e -onveniently •brought , against it. Thus, with arr exec :, 1 of ESPARTERO s division, the QUEEN'S ces nY idle, while the Carlists are threatening to pos -I,qt o: tiro capital. EVANS is recovering, r ein 'OD Weak in body to take the field, and CORDOVA n t i a l S himself seriously ill, so that the troops at St. the stian and Vittoria are without an officer to lead " against the enemy. Th p role a the Gove rnment appears to b e ser i ous l y ap °sive of its error in trusting so much to c9R- '& (0 )44 , DoVA is apparent from the following Royal Order, dated the 19th ult., which appears in the columns of the Madrid Gazette of the 21. t. It is addressed to the General-in-Chief of the army of operation and reserve : " The Queen Regent, desirous to facilitate, by means of better organization, the more rapid and efficacious omploy d the two armies of operation and reserve under your command, decrees,— " I. That the old army of reserve shall be suppressed, ard incorporated with the army of operations. "2. That this army shall be divided into three corps, and as many divisions of reserve, so as to operate in the six principal regions into which may be divided the theatre of war. "3. The three corps shall be called, That of the Right, or of Navarre ; That of the Centre, or of Alava ; That of the Left, or of the Cantabrian Coast. Whilst the divisions of reserve shall be styled, That of the Right, or of the Riojas ; That of the Centre, or of Burgos and Soria ; and that of the Left, or of Merindades, Encartaciones, and the province of, Santander. "4. The three corps and three divisions of reserve shall lee independent of'each other, but shall depend, nevcrtheles3, on the Commander-in-Chief of said army." The object of this order is clearly to deprive Con- DOVA of the command of all but a sinEle division of the army ; for though the word " depend" is used, it is obvious that it can have no force with respect to Generals empowered to act without the concurrence of each other. We trust this is a first step towards a removal, should a sense of shame not induce him to send in his resignation. The state of Spain is truly deplorable at the present moment. Nothing but an energetic movement on the part of England and France can prevent the Usurper from making himself master of Madrid, and, once triumphant in the capital, he will be recognized as King of SPAIN by the Great Northern Powers. It is impossible to foresee the consequence of such an untoward event. Many persons do not hesitate to say that it would inevitably terminate in a general war between the North and West of Europe. Advices from Lisbon to the 17th ult. have been re ceived. The QUEEN and PRINCE were in excellent health, and the Government by no means apprehensive of any danger to the public tranquillity from the secret intrigues of the Miguelites. We regret to state that several vessels belonging to Lisbon merchants are suspected of being deeply engaged in the slave trade. The whole of the Paris Papers, published on Friday and Saturday, have been received. The celebration of the three days was attended by no outbreak or dis turbance of any kind. The review of the National Guards did not take place, neither did the KING ap pear in public during the, fetes. The following are extracts from the Journals :--. PARIS, JULY 29. —For some days we had no intimation of the route taken by the Carlist expedition in the Asturias after it left Oviedo.. It was said to be in imminent danger of de struction from the combined movements of Generals Manso, Espartero, Leitre, and Da Punta (Commander of the Portu guese troops.) In our No. of the 26th our fears that Gomez might frus trate the plans of these four Generals by avoiding their pur suit, and entering the province of Orense, across the very lofty and steep mountains of Doreos—we should feel deep regret at seeing our apprehensions realised, if we might credit the alarming news from Galicia given in the following terms by the letters from Bayonne of the 25th July, which we received to-day. " Official accounts from St. Sebastian, received from our au thorities the day before yesterday (the 23d), announce that Commodore Lord John Hay, who had arrived very rapidly in that fort from a tour of inspection on the coast of Galicia, had brought positive information that General Gomez had on the 19th entered Orcnse, the capital of one of the provinces of Galicia. "P. S. At the moment of my writing a further report is spread that the Captain of an English brig, who left the neighbourhood of St. Sebastian three days ago, favoured by the S. W. wind, has just entered our river with the news that the Carlists had, under the command of General Gomez, en• tered St. Jago de Compostello, the capital of Galicia." This letter speaks, we sPe, of official news, arid it is possible that Gomez may have entered Orense on the 19th, and that the news was received at Bayonne on the 23d ; but as St. Jago de Compostella is three days' march from Orense, and Gomez could not arrive there till the 22d, we would hope that the news is false. But if, unhappily, the Carlist chief has been able to occupy two such imuortant cities, this great success must certainly be owing to the active co-operation of the pdpulation, and in that case the insurrec tion would have acquired a new force, in a country which, by its nature, would afford it the same advantages as Biscay and Nararre.—Journal des Debats, July 30.

Yesterday evening, at St. George's Methodist Chapel in the East, there was a funeral sermon preached on the death of a person, named Young, after which they were singing Pope's celebrated ode, " Vital Spark," when they were alarmed by a loud noise, followed by breaking of glass, and cries of "fire" from all parts of the chapel. Instantly there was a dreadful rush to the doors, and mothers screaming and crying for their children, while some were in fits, mingled with loud cres of "No danger," "No fire," &c. The mi nister exhorted them to sit still, but to no purpose. They rushed from one part of the chapel to the other over the pews, and breaking th em . Th e s i ngers t h en b egan s i ng i ng t h e " - Old Hundredth Psalm," which quieted them a little, when there was another crash of glass, caused by letting the sash of one of the windows fall, and loud cries of " Fire," and another rush as before. Upon which the minister told them they had better leave quietly, as there was no danger, and tried to ex plain the cause to them, which was, that it was occasioned by the falling of a quantity of the ceiling from under the gallery (in consequence of its being so crowded) on the people below, who in their fright knocked the glass off the gas, and the noisc, of the plaster, the glass, and the dust of the former, made others think that the gas had burst. Little bodily injury was inflicted ; but the repairs will not be much less than 20/.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK Our arrivals this morning are two French, two Ostend, and one Dutch Mails, with ship letters from 'Rio Janeiro, Jamaica, Quebec, Buenos Ayres, Havannah, Demerara, and Madeira —from Singapore, 17th Feb. ; New Zealand and Calcutta, sth March ; New York, Bth July ; Bombay, 13th Feb. ; and Cape of Good Hope, 12th May. A report preva►led in the morning of the death of Mr. Rothschild.—On enquiry, we find it to be incorrect ; although he continues in the same unfavourable state. The Buenos Ayres papers to the Ist of May have the fol lowing :—" From the official documents we have from time to time published, our readers will have been informed that the Government of the Province of Salta, although professing adherence to the cause of federation, was accused of acting totally different to the principle it professed ; and that the City of Salta had become the focus in which the enemies of federation formed their plans of offence; and the information obtained determined General Alegrandia Heredia, Governor of Tucuman, to advance on Salta, and remove the Government. He set out with a force sufficient, as he states in his di s . _ _ patch, dated Jujui, on the 24th ult. ; after harassing marches, he arrived in the territory of Salta, and traversed that province and Jujui without firing a shot, and was received with great enthusiasm by the inhabitants. The Government of Salta decamped, and the expedition terminated in the complete pacification of the province of Salta and Jujui. Thus all the' provinces are under Governments who are attached to the federal system. Highest price of doubloons during the week, 124; highest price of exchange on England, 64d."

The Mmarait of the R.or.as, in giving judgment in this case, said that his Royal Highness the late Duke of York being Commander-in-Chief of the Army, and Colonel of a Regi ment, employed Messrs. Greenwood, Cox, and Co., as his army agents, and executed to them the usual power of attor ney. Under this power, the agents, from time to time, received the pay, allowances, and off reckonings parable to his Royal Highness. They made payments on his behalf, and at the time of his death a large sum of money was due to them on the balance of an account. At the same time there was due to his Royal Highness from the Government various sums of money, which, if he had lived, would have been receivable under the power of attorney. These sums consisted partly of arrears of pay, contingenciea, and allowances, accruing in the year 1826, and the beginning of the year 1827, partly of the balance of the cloth;ng account for the year 1827,. and there were also some sums of money due for travelling between the years 1801 anti 1807. Very shortly after the death of his Royal Highness, the agents, Messrs. Greenwood, Cox, and Co., filed their bill on behalf of themselves and the other creditors, against the executors, to obtain payment, of their demand. The decree, dateeL3d February, 1827, directed the usual ac counts to he taken, and ordered the Master, if he should find that any of the creditors had any security cr lien for any of their debts, or any part of the Duke's personal estate, to state the nature and particulars of such securities or liens, and the priorities thereof. The Master by his repoit found a sum of 7.5161. 12s. 1 Id. due to the plaintiffs; but by an order, dated the 4th of Feb., 1831, made noon the petition of the execu tors, it was referred back to the Master to review his report as to that .sum. In pursuance of this order, the Master made a report, dated the 6th of June, 1835, and found the several sums mentioned in the second statement of facts brought in before his predecessor, with certain exceptions; and also the sum of 2.3181. 17s. Bd. issued by the War-office to the plain tiffs, or, the 2d of August, 1830, on account of the travelling expenses of the testator, from the year 1801 to 1807, was part of the general assets of the testator at the time of his death, and that the plaintiff's had not any specific lien on either of those sums, but that they ought to have been paid to the exe cuters of the Duke, to be accounted for by them as part of the personal estate of the testator. There were seven exceptions to the report ; the three first only remained for decision. The first question was whether an agent who was possessed of a power of attorney to receive money for his principal, and to make advances on the faith of being repaid out of the money to he received under the power has, as against the general cre ditors of the principal after his death, a lien on the monies which would have been receivable under the power if the principal had lived? His Lordship thought he had not. A power of attorney, coupled with an interest, could not be revoked at the will of the granter, but death revoked it both in law and equity. The next question was, whether, as between the co-• lonel of a regiment and an army agent, these could be a valid assignment to the agent of the Colonel's pay, allowances, and emoluments, and if so, whether such assignment had been made by the testator to the plaintiff..? For the de fendants it had been alleged that upon the ordinary rule that an officer's pay is not assignable, there could have been no valid assignment of the Duke's par, emoluments, &c. ; and that even if there could, none had been proved in this case. The plaintiffs had contended the principles on which it had been decided, that an officer's pay was not assignable, did not apply to a case like the present between a colonel and an army agent, in which the public inte rest might instead of being prejudiced, be promoted. By the Statute of the 45th Geo. 111. chap. 53, the assign ments were to be made with a view to the application of the money to tha public service, but was not to alter the profits or privileges of the Colonel. It appeared in practice that powers of attorney, granted by the Colonel to the agents, were con sidered as assignments, and the case of " Knowles v. Mait land," 4th Barnewell and Creswell, showed that money re ceived by the agent under the power of attorney was to be con sidered as received by him fur the use of the Colonel, except so far as the interests of the public, or of the other individuals in the regiment made it inconsistent with his duty, that that relation should subsist between the parties. Upon a question not , affecting the interests of the public, or any individual in the regiment, his Lordship was inclined to think an equitable assignment, if properly evidenced, might exist. Upon the best consideration he had been able to give to the evi dence, so far as regarded 2,777/. 14g., mentioned in the first exception, the balance due on the clothing account, he thought that the exception ought to be overruled. As to the sum of 2,318/. 17s. Bd., the subject of the second exception, alleged to have - been paid for travelling expenses, by the plaintiff, it appeared they had established this claim to the satisfaction of the Secretary at War, and the Secretary at War had acted upon the notice that it had become due to the plaintiffs. Whether that was the case, or whether the ::gents had a lien upon it, was now the question. The Learned fudge saw nothing inconsistent with public policy, if the agent had paid these sums by means of which the Colonel has performed , his servi ces , t o g i ve t h e agent a li en f or hi s reimburse ment ; but considerinta the Master had ac ed on the sup position that there could be no valid lien in such a case, and admitting that the evidence was not so satisfactory as it ought to be, he referred it back to the master to inquire whether the plaintiffs had advanced to his Royal Highness or his agents 2,318/. 17s 8:1., and if so, whether by the regula tions of the army, or otherwise. the plaintiffs became entitled to receive that sum from the War Office? The third excep tion relating to the same matter followed the same result. The Cetn.t then proceeded with the remaining petitions. THE MARKETS--(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE.

LOSS OF THE PREMIER,. BY FIRE.—PORTS mount, JULY 30.—8 y the William, from Sydney to London, which passed on Tuesday last, we hear that on Wednesday. the 18th of May, the Premier, Capt. Byron, with a cargo of cotton, &c., reached the Island of Ascension with a leak in her bows ' which haying been made good she prepared for s7.iling on the Sunday fallowing. Having weighed, stowed her an chor, and partly made sail, she was discovered on fire from stem to stern: assistance was immediately rendered by the whole of the garrison, as well as from his Majesty's ships Britomart, and Fair Rosamond, then laying in th e bay ; but with their united exertions nothing could be done but to warp her on shore, which was effected by seven o' c lo c k on Monday morning, when in an hour she was in a complete blaze ; nearly the whole of her cargo was destroyed. It is supposed she must have been fire some week:', and it proved fortunate they had not left two hours earlier, or the whole must have been lest. The captain and crew were waiting fur a passage to England, and the Lascars to their own country. The crews of the ships in the bay were obtaining fresh prol;i sions twice a week, turtle once, and with the quantity of fish they caught were perfectly healthy.---fiampshtre Tdegraph. BULL-BAITING. Information having been re ceived that the barbarous custom of baiting bulls for Wall sail, Bilston West, and other provincial towns in the course of the ensuing months, Mr. Charles Wheeler, the agent to the Ladies' Society for the more effectual suppression of cruelty to animals, is about to proceed there without delay, accompanied by several constables, it being the determination of this lau dable society to spare no expense ill suppressing these inhu man sports, and to have the Act rigidly enforced against all persons offending, who will be taken into custody. THE REGISTRATIONS.—A pretty extensive in quiry enables us to assure our readers, that in the western por tion of Scotland, the Liberals have been once more signally triumphant. It is true, no doubt, that the gross number of new claims presented is everywhere far short of the number of those presented last year ; but this was to be expected, for at last registration immense efforts were made, and almost every qualified voter was enrolled. The claims of the present year, therefore, are almost altogether those where the qualification • has been acquired since last year, or, those where a change of qualification has rendered a new claim necessary. Relatively, however, the proportion of Liberal over Conservative claimants, is as large as before ; and, come a dissolution when it mar, Scotland at least will be found well prepared for it. The To ries of Glasgow have resorted to a notable expedient to em barrass and weaken, as they imagine, the Liberal pha lanx. They have lodged 1,500 objections to voters al ready on the roll ! We cordially thank them for doing so. The roll is most foul, and requires purification ; and we rejoice that the Tories have undertaken the expense of the work. Almost all the objections are well founded, and the consequence must be, that they are sustained. But imagine not, gentle reader that the Liberal electors will thereby be reduced 1,500 in number. No, no ; of these, we venture to predict, that 50 will not be disfranchised. And why ? because the objections arc directed against qualifications which they have ceased to enjoy, and they are already en rolled, or are claimants, on the qualifications which they new enjoy. The result of the objections will therefore be a mere purification of the roll, not a disfranchisement of the Liberal voters; and therefore we once more thank our Tory friends for their liberal expenditure. Every one at all acquainted with the state of the roll, knows that while it contained 9,000 names, it could not boast of above 7,500 voters. The Tories will make this truth somewhat more palpable, by the approach ing purgation. At the same time we caution all Liberal voters who have been served with objections, forthwith to repair to the Secretary of the Reform Association, and entrust him and his coadjutors with the duty of looking after the cor rection of the grounds of their enrolment.—Scots Times. DOVER, JULY 25.—This morning the Emerald steamer, on her voyage from Btulogne to London, with 135 passengers on board, burst her boiler ; others say caught fire; but we have not ascertained which is correct. She, happily, being but about two miles from Boulogne, was enabled, with some assistance, to reach that port in safety. The regular Dover steamer had sailed ; but the one for Tuesday being in port, got up her steam, and has reached here with some of the passengers ; but only about thirty or forty had nerve enough to attempt it. The weather has been very bad for steam ex cursions. The Royal George was yesterday ten hours going to Boulogne, which is often done in less than three. FROLICS. — This is the season when one of the peculiar distinctions of the eastern side of our county—Me broads—are made subservient to the amusement of a great proportion of the inhabitants of their neighbourimods, as well as to the amateurs of boating in more distant parts of .the dis trict. The beautiful inland lake of Wroxham, from its di mensions, central position, and delightful scenery, as well as from the fostering hospitality of the Rev. J. llumfrcy, its proprietor, stands first, and "the Water Frolic" was on Monday. We know no diversion that maintains such constant sources of pleasure as these meetings. The gliding motion of the sparkling waters, the continual change and variety of the scenery from the shifting of the moveable parts, the joy ousness which the passaging to and from imparts, and the mirth which reigns amongst the crews of the vessels, the mu sic that bursts at intervals from instruments or voices, all con tribute to produce a general exhilaration, which is without comparison the simplest, the freest, and the most enduring of any that assembles a party for the pleasures of a social day.

LISBON, JULY I6.—A sad disaster happened in this city on. the 11th inst., which nearly ended a a serious national calamity. At two o'clock in the afternoon the roof of the Treasury, situate in the Rocio-square, was discovered to be on fire, and notwithstanding every possible exertion was used to extinguish the flames, they raged with so much fury, assisted by a strong north wind, as to render them abortive, and at eight P. M. this beautiful spacious building was com pletely destroyed. It was so far fortunate that it occurred at the time all the employ-6s were at their staticns, together with the President, M. de Silva Carvallio, who imme diately gave directions (and who personally assisted) for the removal of the papers, books, and money. Of the latter there was but little at the Treasury, money is kept in the Bank ; this was soon done, and, I am happy to state, just in time to save from the devouring element. ,Nothing of importance has been lost ; consequently the Government have only to lament the loss of a commodious public department. Much praise is due to the wise and prompt measures taken by M. de Silva Carvalho to secure the national credit at such a critical moment, by causine, while the build ing was still in flames, a supplement to the Government journal to be published that evening, announcing that the interest of the inscribed bonds for the quarter ending the 30th of Jane, which was to have been paid at the Treasury the follnwing day—that all'persons interested in the same would on the mor row of the 15th find their money ready at the old Treasury at the Naval Arsenal, which was accordingly performed, acid from such a sudden misfortune the - public did not suffor the least inconv eu i ence, an d the pan i c which had pre vailed on the preceding day subsided, and perfect confidence was thereby restored. MURDER AT SEA.-13v advices from the Sand wich Islands we learn that the dimata, Captain Pager, while lying to windward of one of the islands, was attacked by the Serang, a Bengalee, who, with an axe, murdered the captain, mate, two white and two coloured seamen. Ile then at.tn t 4 i ed the second officer, who h a d a s evere struggle with him, and both fell exhausted. The supercargo coming up from below, and seeing the state of things, shot the Serang. MAGAZINE DAY. BLACKIVOWYS. The first article in the Nuniber before us is entitled " The Old Manor House." It is a striking talc—indeed one of the most strikilq, that we have seen in Blackwood for some months, and wilt be sure to attract attention. The story is told with skill, and the incidents are of a deeply tragic cast, eevelopcd with singular power. The agonies of remorse, as imperfectly awakened in the breast of a misan thropist and a murderer, as well as th e mag i c power o f l ove and the parental instinct over a he a rt th a t seeme d inaccessible to such humanizing innuences, have seldom been more powerfully depicted. The " Metaphysician". is an essay which developes much subtle and inge nious power of thought. It is worthy of a more e l a b orate notice than our circumscribed limits will a ll ow us to b estow . on it. The " National Gallery" a review of the paint ings in this Institution. There is much justice in its ob servations, though there is now and then an air of hyper criticism about them which is to beregretted. Why does the critic object to Claude as a landscape painter ? H as he ever had a &uperior ?—has he ever had an e qua l ? We at least know not where to look for either. We ad mire Claude as a landscape-painter, on the same principl e that we admire Professor Wilson in the same high capa city. Both are full of graceful poetic fancy ; bothimpart the same sunny glow to their subjects ; both can hang a sentiment even on a cabbage-stalk. To object to the land scapes of either of these consummate masters of their art is with us. a species of heresy—a proof of the most egre gious bad taste. " Extracts from the Journal of an Alpine Traveller" is full of vigorous description ; and the " Passages from the Diary of a late Physician," cha racterized by all that minuteness of detail, and scrupulous adherence to nature, in the portraiture of the darker pas sions of humanity by which Mr. Warren's tales have been uniformly distinguished. Altogether, the Number is an ad mirable, not to say, a first-rate one. We miss only the " Noctes"—are.we never to have these incomparable Papers again ?—and those fine critical notices of such men as Homer and Spenser, which leave all competition far behind. TAIT'S. The most agreeable articles in the present Number of " Tait" arc the critical notices—those, we mean, of " flu kes Literary Remains," Mrs. Gore's " Female Domina tion," and " Jerningham." In all these reviews, keen, eri, tical sagacity, is joined with cordial and manly feeling, as is generally the case in this honest, straight-forward periodical. The observations on Hazlitt are laudatory, but not a whit too much so, for the _author of " Table Talk," in spite of the sneers of Gifford and the Quarterly Reviewers, was one of the most upright and philosophical spirits of the age There is more shrewd reflection in one sentence of his ‘• Essay on Coffee-house Politicians," than in all that Gifford ever penned. " Tours and Detours in Scotland " shows much lively talent for the descriptive. The " Autobio graphy of Archibald Nick, late Lord Mayor of London," is from the practised pen of John Galt, and possesses quaint, dry humour, and considerable sly satirical abilities. Had we space; we should give an extract from this nutobiogra phy, but our columns are unfortunately too much crowded to enable us to gratify our readers' curiosity. MONTHLY MAGAZINE. This venerable periodical wears wonderfully well for her age, though we regret to sec that she grows thinner as she grows older, for the present Number contains but a lean amount of pages. However, the articles are various, and, for the most part, amusing ; and the few words of politics comprised in the first paper are manly and independent in their spirit. The " Ascent of Mount Vesuvius" is the most readable article in the Number, though there ara others far more ambitiously written, and which are heavy in conse quence. From the verse articles we quote the " County- Town Rout," which is lively, if not very original : How social and pleasant to meet, in a room Just 14 by 12, twenty-three of one's friends ! Dos•a-dos, vis, nodding ringlet and plume, With question and answer which no one attends. " How d'ye do?" and " G. , od bye," " What a fright !" What a beauty!„ " That man is a nine-pin !" " That woman a bore !" " What are trumps ?" " How she squalls?" "It is surely a duty If people will sing." " Pray attend to your score !" " What a heat !" " Suffocation !" " Da look at Miss Languish !" - ."f T hat man has undone me !" " Oh, when (lid he die ?" " Have you heard Master A spull ?" "Just think of my anguish !" "I cannot just now." "Let. me give you some pie !" Say not that such soirees pass idly away, Clint they squander our talents, our time, and our pence ; "No scenes halt so busy, no revels so gay, II ere ever made bright at so trifling expense. NEW MONTHLY. Miss Landon contributes a well-written tale to this Number, under the imposing, high German title of the " Bride of Lindorf," which abounds in picturesque descrip tion, like every thing this clever young lady writes. The talc is narrative rather than dramatic, and is, as usual, of a serious character. The sketch of the heroine is very poetical. " Her hair," says the authoress, " was of that rare, rich golden, so seldom seen—almost transparent, like rain with the sun-beams shining through it." The account of a " Visit to the Zoological Gardens" is in Leigh Hunt's liveliest. manner. It is far superior to an article on the same subject that appeared in the last Number of the Quarter& Review. We quote the lively comparison of the elephant with Dr. Johnson, which will instantly call to mind the arch, quaint, and graceful writer of the " Indi cator :" " The elephant would seem more comfortably situated than most. lie has water to bathe in, mud to stick in, and an area many times bigger than himself for his circuit. Very interesting is it to sec him throw bits of mud over himself, and to see, and hear him, suck the water up in his trunk and•then discharge it into his great red throat; in which be also re ceives, with sage amenity, the biscuits of the ladies. Cer tainly, the more one considers an elephant, the more he makes good his claim to be considered the Dr. Johnsen of the brufe creation. He is huge, potent, sapient, susceptible of tender impressions, is a good fellow, likes as much water as the other did tea, gets on at a great uncouth rate when he walks, and though perhaps less irritable and melancholy, can take a witty revenge ; as witness the famous story of the tailor that pricked him, and whom he drenched with ditch water. If he were suddenly gifted with speech, and we asked him if he liked his imprisonment, the first words he would utter would un questionably be—" Why, no, Sir." Nor is it to be doubted, when going to dinner, that lie would echo the bland sentiment of our illustrious metropolitan, on a like occasion, " Sir, I like to dine." If asked his opinion of his keeper, he would say, " Why, Sir. Hipkins is, upon the whole, a good follow,' —like myself, Sir, (smiling,) but not quite so considerate; he knows I love him, and presumes a little too much upon my forbearance. He teases me for the idle amusement of the bystanders. Sir, Hipkins takes the display of allowance for the merit of ascendancy." This is what the elephant mani festly thought on the present occasion ; for the keeper set a little dog at him, less to the amusement of the bystanders than he fancied ; and the noble bean, after butting the cur out of the way, and taking care to spare him, as he advanced, (for one tread of his foot would have smasned the little per tinacious wretch as flat as a pancake,) suddenly made a stop, and, in rebuke of both of them, uttered a high indignant scream, much resembling a score of cracked trumpets." We like Mr. Hunt's prose better than his verse this month. His three sonnets to the author of " Ion," though evidently written with care, contain but these two lines which arc worth remembering : _ " Childhood I saw, glad-faced, that squeezah tight One's hand, while the rapt curtain soars away," which are as true to nature, as that admirable picture in the London Journal of the hungry school-boy flattening his nose against the window-pane of a confectioner's ;bor. " Portraits of Notorious Characters" arc admirably written. both as respects style and thought. Vie have been struck with this sentence, which is severe, but not without justice, " Independence is nothing more than a sense of dependence suppressed—as contentment is the art of biding your desires—or as -innocence is guilt undetected." One might fancy Lord Orford penning a passage 11k3 this. It is very like his sly, polished satire. " The Elements of Conversa tion" is by Theodore Hook. It is cleverish, but the subject is hacknied, especially in Magazines, and will scarcely furnish the materials of amusement. Mrs. Hall's Irish Tale is as good us any she has yet written. FRASER'S. The " Gallery of Literary Characters " on this less flippant, than the month a portrait of old Sir John Soanc, to wetch a brief memoir is prefixed, better, because. . . . . In the " usual biographical notices i a small poet," which is occurs a Post script to the Second --ac . . ~ Cambridge," t n te t r his fr P o e m m-dlcal—l so lively, and at the same time so just, that we extract it for sketch of that very common biped . , • the amusement of our readers : " A small poet is on o that makes himself that - which Na ture never meant him ; like a fanatic, thlt inspires himself with his own w himsies. He sets - up 11:Am - dasher of small poetry, with a very small stock, and no credit. He believes it invention e nough to find out other men's wit ; and whatso ever b e lights upon, either in books or company, he makes bold with as his own. You may know his wit nit to be na tural, it is so unquiet and troublesome in him ; fur as those that have money but seldom arc always shaking their pockets when they have it, so does he when be thinks he has got some thing that will make him appear. lie is like an Italian thief, that never robs but he murders to prevent discovery ; so sure is he to cry down the man from whom be purloins, that his• petty larceny of wit may pass unsuspected. He takes jests from the Owners and breaks them, as justices do false weights and pots that want measure. Ha disclaims study, pretends to take things in motion and tq shunt flying ; which appears to be very true by his often missing of his mark. As for epithets, he always avoids those that are near akin to the sense. For similitudes, he likes the hardiest and most obscure best; for, as ladies make black patches to make their complexions seem fairer than they are, so when an illustration is more tob seen. than the sense - that went. before it, it must of neceltsity realte it appear clearer than - it did ; Tor contraries arc best! set off by contraries. He has found out a new sort of Poetical Georgics-1 trick of sowing wit, li!.c clover-grass, upon bar ren subjects which would yield nothing before. This is very useful for the times wherein some men say there is no room left for new invention." A " Most Talented Fatuity." shows much power of gmo d. humoured satire. The sketelt of the pompous old block head who was an authority .-mong . his friends, o n th e , strength of his having "once suiped m company with Dr. Johnson," and " more than once sba!zcn hands with Gar rick," is true to the life. " O'Fiarlon and his Wife," is a sad story of domestic life, told with much feeling and simplicity. The " Prout Papers " conti,in many ably trans lations from Horace, and an ingenious 1....!tin version of that well-known Irish Melody, " Eveleen's Bower." The " Familiar Letters of Cowley," is a delightful Magazine article, and the notice of " GraAtley Berkeley anti his Novel," one of the savagest criticisms that has ever appeared in Fraser. Whether it be just or not, we cannot say, as we Flo not happen to have read " Berkeley Castle." THE DUBLIN UNIVERSITY . MAGAZINE. Simpkin and Marc lealL In his efforts to make his readers acquainted with the choicest specimens of German litera'airc, Anthony Poplar is the most. indefatigable ofliving• editors. Those who were (lc.- _ lighted with the criticisms on, and translations from,Goethe's Faust (as what reader of the Dublin University Magazine was not ?) will find a fresh intellecwal feast prepared - for them in some elegant translations fmin Kerner's Lyrical Poems and Ballads in the. Anthologia Germanica for August. A criticism on 801 l erg's Peter Paars, will also serve to introduce to the notice of English readers, the work of a distinguished • Danish author, Whose very name is scarcely heard in the highest literary circles of this country. All this is do: nn good :zervice to literature. An article On the " is the only politico paper in the present Number ; and, though we di - MT in opinion from the writer, we readily award to it the merit of great ability The Reviews of " Walsh's Constantinople," and ‘ Alison's Freaich Re volution," and ingeniousiv written. The " Moon light Meditation" is not equal to its introd.iction, which appeared in the July Number. Nevertheless it contains lines, and even stanzas of great beauty. The Portrait Gallery is deserted this month. SPURTING MA GA ZINE .Pittman. The embellishments fOr the August Nutul)er of the snorting Magazine, are the Pantaloon and the Water Witch with all their sails set, and a basket of as delicious looking trout as ever graced the board of a London Alder man. Both are tolerably %yell executed. There is the usual abundance of sporting intelligence. THE UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL. H. CoThurn. We recommend all those who have taken the slightest interest in the late inquiry about the relative merits of the British and Prussian systems of military discipline, to read over attentively an excellent account of the Battle of Jena, translated from a German manuscript by Gcutz, who vouches for the veracity of every syllable he has written. It is indeed a most interesting sketch, and throws a new light upon the subject of the Von Grollman and Wellington controversy. The remarks upon the Report of the Com mittee. of Military Inquiry are likewise well worth the consideration of military readers. The War i❑ Spain is also the subject of a very clever paper, in which the present position of the Christinos and Carlists is pointed out with great accuracy and military precisiOn.

A quantity about the size of a walnut has been found by experience quite enough for each animal, and it may be smeared over the whole surface either with the hand or a common brush.
